Don't rely strickly on a Google search to figure out a strange rash.
I developed a strange rash on Sunday that itched like crazy and by evening,
spread around my face & neck. I checked Google & it looked to me like a
typical poison ivy rash. After treating it with all the usual stuff, it didn't feel
any better. Had trouble breathing by early Monday morning & called the Dr.
Saw him last night at 6;30pm and found out it was a reaction to a new med
he had added to my BP meds. It had caused edema in my lungs & the crazy
itchy rash & swelling on my face/neck.
If left unchecked, the breathing wopuld have become much worse and
might have involved a quick trip to the ER.
FYI. The new med was Lisinopril.
